American Audio PRO-DJ2FX - Manual (Page 14)

1. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DISC TRAY/LOADING DISCS
This is an electronic operation and can only work when the power is on. Press
the OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON (12) to open or close the disc tray. Pressing the
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (19), will also automatically close the tray if it is open and
immediately cue any CD that is in it. If the transport tray is left open for more than
60 seconds it will close automatically to prevent accidental damage to the transport.
Again if a CD is left in the transport tray it will immediately cue to the first
song. The disc trays cannot be opened during playback to prevent playback from
being interrupted if the OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON (12) is pressed accidentally. Stop
playback, then press the OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON (12).
2. LOADING DISCS
The PRO-DJ2FX can play both 3 inch (8 cm) and 5 inch (12 cm) compact discs
(CD’s). Odd shaped and oval CD’s are not compatible. When loading a CD into the
unit always hold the disc by its' edges and place it in the disc tray. Never touch
the signal surface (the glossy side). When using 5 inch/12 cm discs, place the disc
in the outer tray guides (figure 7), and when using 3 inch/8 cm discs, place them
securely in the inner guides (figure 8).
CAUTION:
• NEVER insert any foreign objects in the disc tray.
• NEVER attempt to insert more than one disc in the disc tray at a time. Doing
so may result in severe damage to the unit.
• NEVER force the transport tray open or closed when the power is off, as this
may result in malfunction and damage the transport system.
3. SELECTING TRACKS
Select a desired track by using either of the two TRACK BUTTONS (16 & 18). Tapping the TRACK BUTTONS
(16 & 18) once will select either a higher or lower track. You may hold down the TRACK BUTTONS (16 &
18) to change tracks continuously at a higher speed. If you are using the TRACK BUTTONS (16 & 18) to
select a new track during playback (a track already playing) the new track you selected will immediately begin
playback as soon as the search operation is completed.
4. STARTING PLAYBACK
Insert an audio CD as describe above (loading discs). Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (19) with
an audio CD inserted will immediately start playback. The PLAY INDICATOR (38) will glow as soon as
playback begins. The point at which playback starts (cue point) will automatically be stored in the memory
as the cue point. The unit will return to this cue point (the point at which playback started) when the
CUE BUTTON (17) is pressed.
5. STOPPING PLAYBACK
Stopping playback will not stop the drive mechanism, but merely pause or cue the track. There are two
ways to stop playback:
1) Press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (19) during playback to pause at that point.
2) Press the CUE BUTTON (17) during playback to return the track to it’s last cue point.
6. PAUSING
Pausing temporarily stops playback. Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (19) changes the operating mode
between play and pause. The PAUSE INDICATOR (39) in the LCD (13) will glow when pause mode is
activated or when a track is in cue mode.
7. AUTO CUE
”Cueing” is the action of preparing for playback. When the unit is in cue mode the CUE INDICATOR (36) in
the LCD (13) will glow. The unit is designed to automatically cue at the first audible signal on the first of a
disc when a disc is inserted. If a track is selected before a disc is inserted, the unit will automatically cue to
the first audible signal for the selected track.
